Hi,
Normally, if I want to deploy a web app / web service, I have to put it
under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. However, if I use eclipse WTP to develop a
web app / web service, the project folder can be placed anywhere. I
believe that Eclipse maps that folder into a folder under tomcat
environment. How could I do something similar to that? For example, a
directory c:\myproj which after deploying can be accessed via
localhost:8080/myproj (tomcat located at c:\tomcat)
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Minh,
see my reply to your other post: WTP deploys webapps by default to a folder in
your workspace:
" .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\webapps\ YourWebApp "
You can modify the server settings to run it from the server installation (in
the "Servers" view open your tomcat server and uncheck the option "Run modules
directly from the workspace"), but I do not have experience with this feature.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks. It's interesting to know that setting. However, you've
misunderstood me. My question meant "what mechanism does eclipse use so
that it doesn't have to modify the server setting?" As I know, to map a
hard-disk directory into a directory under server environment (e.g. c:\dir
--> localhost/dir), we have to add a context path to
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml. But eclipse does not do so.
I think eclipse makes use of tomcat runtime environment (or the like) to
create its own web container within its workspace. Am I right?
Cheers.

Hi Minh,
I'm not the WTP guru, so in some parts I can just guess or cannot help at all,
but I will try.
Normally eclipse creates it's own tomcat configuration and starts the tomcat
installed on your hard disc using this configuration. If you add a server to the
server view it will create a pseudo project in a section "Servers" in the
Project Exlorer. This server contains all required tomcat configuration files
(server.xml and others), and the project can be found in your workplace.
Hope this helps
Best regards
Wolfgang
